Hello,
I thank you for using healthcare magic .
I read your question and understand your concern.
First of all we need to know what is the cause of your back pain .
The most probable diagnosis might be disc hernia. It Can be evaluated through a back MRI.
The treatment for this is different depending on the stage of the disease.
In acute phase you can have some bed rest for few days and take some tramadol pills.
After that you can do some physical therapy and if the problem last very long you can have surgery.
Wish you a quick recovery .
